Best Starts for Kids Proposal

El Centro de la Raza is asking for your support of King County Executive Dow Constantine’s Best Starts for Kids proposal. “Best Starts for Kids is an initiative to improve the health and well-being of King County by investing in prevention and early intervention for children, youth, families, and communities” (King County).

The King County Council voted to put a six-year levy on the November 3, 2015 ballot that would fund the initiative. The proposed levy rate is 14 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value. It would raise about $65 million per year and cost the average King County property owner an estimated $56 per year. Click these links to find out more information in Español and English.
